But after having this monitor for only 1 month I have 3 dead pixels the HDR is not good it turned up in a sealed box without the screen protector, and is missing instructions guessing Samsung was having an off day.

As we move down the refresh rate range, as gamers playing with variable refresh enabled might do, response performance is consistent. The response time average only increases from 4.90 to 5.08ms at 60Hz which is a very small difference. However, overshoot does increase, and there are no real signs of variable overdrive being used here.

Terms & Conditions

It also makes me nervous to install a previous version onto my monitor if I have a newer one already.

The Samsung Odyssey G70A is the latest in a prestigious line of Odyssey gaming monitors. This is not a direct successor to the legendary Samsung Odyssey G7, nor does it bear any resemblance to the mini LED monster that is the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9. Instead, this is Samsung’s newest foray into a slightly different market.

Plan Benefits

Out of the box, the G70A produced 115% of the sRGB colour gamut and 82% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut, which is respectable if not class-leading. In its default picture mode, the G70A produced a Delta E of 2.1 with sRGB content, which suggests that colour accuracy is sufficient for all but the most demanding colour-critical work. For gaming purposes, image quality is largely very good indeed. You're also getting adaptive sync support and compatibility for both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync for a tear-free gaming experience and a funky LED light built into the rear of the monitor to illuminate the wall with some mood lighting, though this sadly isn't RGB, nor will it sync to your other peripherals or react to what's on your display like a Philips Hue device. Input latency is good, especially for processing delay which is negligible and a mere fraction of a millisecond at 144Hz. The main limiting factor here is the refresh rate, you'll only achieve a smoother and more responsive experience with a higher refresh rate display, like some of the 240Hz options in this chart. Also I should note that input latency is much higher when using the G7 S28 at a fixed 60Hz, I'd recommend setting the display to a higher refresh rate if possible.

Viewing angles are good as expected from an IPS panel, and the fact that it's flat versus the original G7 makes it much easier to view at off angles. Uniformity was very solid as well, only a few small deviations across the entire panel, not enough to really be noticeable in practice. This is great from a 4K monitor that you might want to use for a bit of productivity work. HDR Performance At 120Hz the G7 S28 delivers great performance, so if you're thinking of using this display with a modern console, it's a great choice. Once again it's not really any different to other monitors that use the same panel, but it's still decent. At 60Hz, same story, overshoot is a little high for my liking but performance overall is great and overshoot artifacts are minimal.FAQ for Samsung TV.

You can use the Pixel Shift function on your Samsung OLED monitor to fix image issues. This will refresh the screen’s pixels. The Odyssey G7 S28 includes one DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC as well as two real HDMI 2.1 ports. The HDMI 2.1 ports are 40 Gbps ports, not the full 48 Gbps, but this makes no real world difference, as these HDMI 2.1 ports have more than enough bandwidth at 40 Gbps for full 4K 144Hz at 10-bit RGB. This means support for the full panel capabilities with inputs like game consoles. Choose from a range of networks and inclusive monthly plans to get started with your new Galaxy phone straight away.
